Former N. Sembilan exco members barred only from exco rooms but can still enter Wisma Negeri, says A-G

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — The 10 former Negeri Sembilan executive councillors, who served as state assemblymen, are barred from entering their exco rooms after their dismissal on September 24, according to Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar. This effectively disqualifies them from being members of the state administration.

However, they can still enter government buildings as elected representatives and attend to their duties, particularly matters concerning their constituents. The ban also prevents them from accessing their respective exco rooms, including to retrieve personal belongings left at the offices. The media has reported that these 10 assemblymen, who are contesting their dismissal, have filed a lawsuit in the Seremban High Court to have their dismissals declared invalid.

All plaintiffs have submitted originating summonses through counsel Hafarizam Wan & Aisha Mubarak last Monday, targeting the Negeri Sembilan State Secretary and the state government as defendants. When asked about decisions made by the former exco members before their dismissal, Mohd Dusuki stated that those decisions remain valid as they were still holding exco positions at the time. Once dismissed, they no longer possess the authority to make exco decisions.
